May not need it.: Cystitis cystica is more of a description of the appearance of the bladder lining than a disease diagnosis with a specific treatment. It is usually without symptoms and is often found in normal bladders, though chronic infections, bladder exstrophy, neurogenic bladder, or prior surgery can cause its formation. Treatment should be at correcting the underlying cause.
